Show HN: I built Aegis AI – An Agentic Home Security w/ GPT+Local VLM on Mac/PC

The world's first AI Home Security Agent for your home. Runs on your Mac or PC — even a Mac M1 Mini with 8GB RAM can deploy a LFM2.5 model for video analysis.

Connect any camera you already own — Ring, Blink, DaHua, HikVision, Reolink, any RTSP/ONVIF IP camera, your laptop's webcam, or even an old iPhone sitting in a drawer. Aegis unifies them all into one place.

Choose how your AI runs: locally via llama-server with vision models from HuggingFace (SmolVLM2, LLaVA, MiniCPM-V, Qwen-VL, LFM, and more), or through GPT Vision / Google APIs with your own key. Aegis doesn't just flag motion — it tells you who's there and what's happening.

Behind the smart alerts is an agentic framework with an advanced memory and knowledge system. Aegis learns who's family, what's routine, and what's actually unusual. It deduplicates events, builds context over time, and makes security decisions, not just detections. Alerts go to Slack, Discord, or Telegram — wherever your family already is.

Missed something? Just ask: "What happened at the front door today?" Your agent watched everything and gives you a real answer — not a list of clips. Everything is stored locally. Every clip on your machine, instant playback, no subscription. One unified timeline across all cameras. I built this because I was tired of useless motion alerts, footage locked behind subscriptions, and having no way to just ask what happened while I was away. The app is functional and I use it daily. Multi-camera integration, local and cloud AI, unified timeline, chat interface, smart alerts, cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) all working.

Happy to answer any questions!
